It’s the band’s fans who buy the records. The band is responsible for whether it’s a great record or a horrible record. Royalties belong to the band. I would like to be paid like a plumber. I do the job and you pay me what it’s worth.”

Obviously he wants to get paid, but he's not unscrupulous about it.
Exactly, I was being sarcastic. Albini has never been one to chase the money. What, is he supposed to do **** for free?

I know you were, no worries.

But yeah, he's also fully prepared to forgo his 450 per day fee if a band runs out of money or can't afford it, he'd rather finish an album than leave it halfway through.

Anybody that forms a band called "rapeman" is probably not looking for mass acceptance.

I will say that I dig the idea of Eno's Oblique Strategies though.

Yeah, I have heard about that over the years. Seems like a great way to break those creative blocks, can you still buy those somewhere?

Assuming a session is a regular-length workday, $700 per session is only $87.50 per hour. That's not much at all for an internationally renowned specialist.

Albini's all about getting it done quickly too, in his mind two weeks is wasting an artist's time.
